Something I've wondered about, how well do they check those IDs, I've never seen anyone shine them under a UV light at an election.
If a 19 year old can get a good fake ID online for $100, what's to stop a really dedicated party from getting 100,000 (more than enough to swing many states) for $10 mil. (probably less, I'm sure there's a bulk discount)
You don't think Democrats would drop $30 mil to win MI, PA, and GA?
About the two in the upper lift corner...
Municipal officials (city, village or township) count absentee ballots.
After the counting is complete, the ballots are secured and transferred to the county, who stores them in case of recount.
Absentee ballots being transferred to the county at 4am isn't proof of fraud, and claiming it is just gives the other side the ability to claim we don't know what we're talking about.
Florida let's their counties start tabulating (feeding through the counting machine) absentee ballots up to three weeks before the election.
In Wisconsin we weren't allowed to start doing that until the morning of election day.
We would have had our counts out just as fast if we were able to start counting absentee ballots even the day before the election instead of only election day.
Unfortunately the SCOTUS was probably right not to take that case, at least from a strictly legal perspective.
We don't have a national election for the President, we have 50 state (and DC) elections. Thus Texas has little standing to bring a case over what amounts to another states internal affairs.
Where the SCOTUS was wrong was refusing to hear the appeals to the cases that were brought by the electors, legislatures, or people of those states. For example, on Dec 8, they refused to hear an appeal of a case that was decided by the PA Supreme Court.
Don't know as much about AZ, but Georgia wasn't helped by their Secretary of State (the one in charge of running the election), claiming his people investigated all the claims Giuliani and Trump and that there was nothing to them.
Of course no one wants to admit they screwed up running an election.
Then Kemp would have had to deal with his capitol getting burnt down. Stacy Abrams would have led a mob to his doorstep. A mob in a uproar over this governor attempting to overturn the will of the people in this "legitimate election". (It must be legit, "Republican" Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said it was.)
There's a problem with that. You need one Republican in the chamber.
They only check for a quorum if someone asks them to (a quorum call), which means you need a Republican in there to ask.
Which gives them their 51st senator

If you go to court and have bad information, the other side will seize upon it, so you have to make sure all of your data is top notch.
169,000 ballots en route to county election officials... the county doesn't count the votes, the city (or village or township) does, when the city finishes the counting, they seal the ballots into containers and transfer them to the county.
Wisconsin doesn't register voters by county, so where does this data of more Republican absentee ballots come from? And even if true, is it valid to apply statewide numbers to the states third most democrat county?
I doubt Powell was controlled opposition, she was Flynn's attorney before this.
I think she allowed herself to be mislead. Unfortunately there are many Trump supporters who are willing to believe things without really scrutinizing them. She just has to throw together a case, a nice provocative one that makes lots of headlines (let's face it, her story had hacking, foreign powers, satellites, everything, a lot more exciting than "we used a Xerox to make 100 copies of this ballot") and then she can rake in her share of the "Stop The Steal" donation gravy train.
She didn't even bother to file good court cases (read her filings if you get a chance, it's like she didn't even bother to proofread them.) because that wasn't the point, just getting them into court to keep the headlines and donations coming.
However she may have taken things too far, and now she's getting sued by Dominion, and just asked the court to dismiss the case (you thought she wanted discovery? guess again) because "reasonable people would not accept such statements as fact"
Powell, Wood, and their friends claim Dominion was used to commit fraud in areas of Wisconsin that didn't even use Dominion machines.
The fraud isn't in the machines, it's in the ballots, that's why Georgia's hand recount didn't change anything.

Too many people here are either unable or unwilling to accept just how densely urban areas are actually populated.
The most extreme example I can think of is Illinois. If you look at a county level map of the election, it looks like it went solidly for Trump, except for those few counties in the northeast corner.
But one of those counties has 40% of the states population.
The rural population is dwindling, unless we reverse our losses in the suburbs and figure out some way to chip away at the democrat dominance in the cities, things aren't looking good long term.
I doubt it was intentional, but I'm sure Soros considers it an unforeseen plus.
People will spend a lot of good money so they can "own the libs" by rolling coal on some Prius owner.
And then pay good money a second time keeping that oversized beast fueled.
If COVID doesn't exist, that means Trump shut down travel to/from China and Europe for no reason at all.
